torso

A torso is the main part of your body that includes your chest and abdomen. It's essentially everything except your head and limbs.

When people talk about a torso, they often mean the middle section of something else - like a statue or a skeleton - where you'd see the body but not the head or legs. For example, imagine looking at an old Roman statue in a museum; the upper part is gone, but what's left is called the torso. This word can also refer to a life-size representation of the human body, often made for educational purposes like anatomy models.
